After you Sign Up & Register!, we'll confirm your booking details via email and send you a secure link to reserve your spot. Your $99 deposit will count towards tuition - Spanish lessons, or in case of "no-show" or cancellation within 1 week of start date, will be considered a cancellation fee.

Emergency Cancellation Policy: due to COVID-19, our regular cancellation policy cannot apply and we have put in place an emergency cancellation policy.

Who are Private Lessons for?
Different types of students can benefit from One to One Spanish lessons.
On one hand there are those who simply need a private Spanish teacher because of their personal circumstances. This might be the case of those who need to develop specific language skills (medical Spanish, Spanish for business, etc.) in the shortest timeframe possible or the case of those students who will only be in Boquete, Bocas del Toro or Panama City, Panama for a couple of days.
There may be other students who because of the way they learn, simply need to pay more attention to a particular area and require the guidance of a private Spanish tutor. Students who have a more difficult time with their conversational or listening skills could also highly benefit from having private Spanish lessons to effectively learn Spanish.
We devote plenty of time to take the One to One Spanish Class to the real world and we give our students the opportunity to practice their Spanish in Panama City, and in the towns of Bocas del Toro and Boquete, at local shops, markets, restaurants and many other places where students can interact with other Spanish speakers.
SIGN UP NOW & REGISTER FOR PRIVATE SPANISH LESSONS...
You can sign up for
as little as a day of private classes and for
up to 6 hours of private lessons per day. If you
don't know any Spanish and you're only going to be in town for
less than a week we can offer you a quick
Basic Crash Course for Travelers. If you
do know some Spanish and only have couple of days, tell us about your needs: we will tailor your course to meet your specific requirements. Please
CONTACT US to reserve a teacher or enquire about availability.

Your Very Own Spanish Teacher
The first advantage of having a Spanish teacher for yourself is obvious: you have the teacher just for you, no one else is in the class! This allows the Spanish class to be exactly what you want and what you need it to be. You can focus on your particular needs without worrying about the needs of other classmates.
The environment of a One to One Private Spanish Class in Panama can also help students feel more comfortable and more at ease. It may be the element required to boost their confidence and get the student speaking Spanish as fast as possible.
You can also Complement with Group Lessons
On the other hand 1 to 1 private Spanish lessons do not necessarily have to be taken on their own. They can be taken as a complement to group lessons. Many students decide to have 1 to 1 private Spanish lessons as an "add on" to our Group 4 Spanish Course. In this way they can receive the best from both worlds. This is what we call Group 4 PLUS.
When learning the Spanish language there are a whole set of general skills that need to be developed and being in a group can definitely make it easier for certain students. Group Spanish lessons tend to make it easier for students to practice their conversational skills because group classes are by nature more interactive then private Spanish lessons. Feel free to Contact Us if you don't know which is the best Spanish course for you.

In our experience many students
benefit more from
adding one or two extra hours of private lessons to our
standard course of 4 hours of group lessons per day. In these additional private lessons students can work on those topics or skills that are
more difficult for them or that because of their
very specialized nature it wouldn't be appropriate to study them in a group simply because the rest of the classmates wouldn't benefit from studying those topics or gaining those skills (such as
Medical Spanish Vocabulary, or preparing for the
DELE Exam or any other specialized skill or topic that wouldn't be of common interest to the group). The time factor is usually also a very important factor: if you don't have that much time, then a One to One Spanish class will certainly be your best choice.

Morning or Afternoon Sessions
Private Spanish lessons can take place in the morning or in the afternoons, from Monday to Friday. You can decide to have between 2 and 6 hours of One to One Spanish lessons each day (10 - 30 hours per week).
The time slots available are as follows: 8 a.m. to 9:50 a.m., 10:10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m. to 2:50 p.m., and 3:10 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. At Habla Ya in Panama City, as we open an hour later, classes start at 9 a.m. and end at 6 p.m.
Private lessons at Habla Ya Bocas del Toro mainly take place in the afternoons, and in both Habla Ya Boquete and Habla Ya Panama City, private lessons are usually scheduled in the mornings. During high season (January - March, June - August) this can change.
Students can voice their schedule preference but time slots will be assigned according to teacher availability.
If you're adding extra 1 to 1 Spanish lessons to group lessons, the schedule of your private lessons will depend on the schedule available for a group of your same level.
One to One evening Spanish classes are also available but special arrangements need to be made. Click here for more information.
The option to select your schedule for private lessons is subject to availability. Priority is given to students taking group lessons because in a group there is more people that can request a specific time and although we always try to please all of our customers, in a group there are simply more students who have the right to request a specific schedule =).

A note to all of those who decide to
only have private Spanish lessons:
avoid getting too comfortable with your particular Spanish teacher. Students taking private lessons might have it more difficult to practice their Spanish outside of the classroom because they
feel shy when talking Spanish with anyone else besides their teacher. They could also get used to their
teacher's tone of voice and particular accent or way of talking and become frustrated when they can't
understand anyone else besides their
own Spanish teacher. This is why we tend to
change your teacher every time you complete a
Spanish level. This is why it is so important to practice your Spanish outside of the classroom as well. This is why at Habla Ya Panama Spanish Schools we take the class out of the classroom and make sure that our students effectively practice their Spanish with other people. We cannot stress how important it is to
practice your Spanish in the
real world.
